| Accepted name: |
acetylxylan esterase |
| Reaction: |
Deacetylation of xylans and xylo-oligosaccharides |
| Systematic name: |
acetylxylan esterase |
| Comments: |
Catalyses the hydrolysis of acetyl groups from polymeric xylan, acetylated xylose, acetylated glucose, α-napthyl acetate, p-nitrophenyl acetate but not from triacetylglycerol. Does not act on acetylated mannan or pectin. |
